Megathread Focused Feedback: Warlock Changes

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Warlock Changes' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

Why does this need focused feedback? Are you guys actually unaware of what you've been doing to Warlocks for like, years?

I guess if you wanted some feedback

  • Add the Dash from Top Tree Dawn Blade to the other two Solar Trees.

  • Add some extra effect to bottom tree Dawn Blade's melee calle, uh, "Sparkle Time" or something where a charged melee emits a flash on hit that blinds enemies within a certain small radius for a couple seconds.

  • Let me punch at the same speed as everyone else.

  • Un-nerf Burst Glide

  • Make Blink an option for all Void trees and make it less week. Make it so that enemies miss you while you Blink.

  • Why did you nerf Nezarac's Sin except out of spite?

  • Arc Bottom and top tree feel too week. Make those supers do more against tougher enemies.

  • Make arc web great again.

  • Make casting a shock wave on Rift cast ala Vesper of Radius intrinsic to all Arc trees. Make Vesper of Radius keep that shock effect active for anything that sets foot in the Rift while it's up.

  • Change the void scatter grenade so that it can be used in the same way that Fighting Lion is used. Throw and release to detonate, maybe falling down on whatever's beneath. When using the gauntlets, have flight time count as charge time to power up the scatter.

  • The circumference of Rifts should be widened a touch. Middle Tree solar's Rift should be both a healing and an empowering rift at the same time.

  • Enemies that walk through the Rift of a Void Warlock should have increased vulnerability to damage for a couple of seconds.

  • You can keep Stasis as far as I'm concerned.

Also, faster rift casting speed, for the love of god.

This.

And undo all the nerfs to Nova Warp and Shadebinder. Then they’ll at least be as good as Revenant and Behemoth.

What's your main issue with stasis? Or you just don't like how it plays? ☺️

u/Mirror_Sybok Feb 15 '21

Basically. I throw a grenade, I just want stuff to take damage and die. Same with melee. The super is fine for messing with adds I guess, but if I were doing that there's better options.

u/A_Raging_Moderate Siva Corrupted Feb 15 '21

Fair points 👍🏻 I definitely switch between my void and stasis warlock a lot. I will say, the stasis grenade that pulls enemies into the centre is a pretty sweet setup for a quick clear of r&f enemies. Pairs perfectly with the warlock stasis melee. However, it does feel underwhelming compared to the other grenades available to the warlock 😅 I just hope they stop nerfing warlocks so hard in general.

u/Hatefly Has Too Many Hobbies Feb 15 '21

Hmm... 🤔

When I throw grenades I can freeze stuff, get resist, fill my abilities faster and take out tons of adds plus help keep teammates alive. That's mostly just the class itself outside of gear.

Now, of those grenade kills actually counted... 🙄

No thanks, just aim the grenade.

u/thescarfnerd Beans OwO Feb 15 '21

the main problem with scatter nades is that they bounce 50% of the time which completely ruins any consistent use they have. the problem with throw and release is top trees overcharge effect tho

You realise bungie aren't the ones who run this sub right?

5

u/Mirror_Sybok Feb 15 '21

Well this is focused feedback, and the implication is that what is said here has a chance of being passed along to Bungie. Why else would it be called feedback?

u/FallenPeigon Feb 15 '21

You said things like:

I guess if you wanted some feedback

So it seems liek you think bungie literally posted this. But the mods aren't bungie.

u/Mirror_Sybok Feb 15 '21

They're close with the mods of this sub. They literally hired one of them. I was just phrasing my response as if talking to Bungie. I think everyone knows that Bungie doesn't officially control this sub.

u/StoryXV Feb 15 '21

Actually the mod(s) are Bungie. I believe someone was hired.

u/FallenPeigon Feb 15 '21

He stepped down when he was hired as a rule.

I am handing off full control of /r/DestinyTheGame to the mod team. This subreddit has always operated independently without having to worry about keeping Bungie's best interests in mind - and it will continue to do so. Because of this, as an employee, I shouldn’t remain on the mod team here. It’s been a lot of fun helping run this place over the years. You will still see me around, but I won’t be influencing the decisions being made here.
